Welcome to Dr. Eisner's Acid Reflux Blog

I'm a board-certified gastroenterologist practicing in Boca Raton, Florida since 1995. I was always fascinated with science as a child and decided to become a doctor to use this interest along with helping people. After medical school, I began my internal medicine residency, where I developed a stron...

Dr. Eisner, For the last 3 months I have been struggling with the feeling of a thick sore throat, clearing my throat, pressure at the base of my throat and in my chest, burping, every once in awhile the impression after I swallow of bubbles coming up and occasionally feeling like I have a hard time swallowing especially liquids and soft foods. I did the swallowing barium tests which showed only a slight liquid drop towards my esophagus. The gastroentologist thought my swallowing muscles were moving a bit slow for a 50 year old woman so I was sent to a neurologist who tested me for MS and MGravis both negative. I was then sent to an ENT doctor who said my upper throat looked good and was tested for allergy and autoimmune, both negative. He suggested I might have acid reflux. When this first all started, I used Mylanta for a couple weeks then took Zantac for 3 days which made me feel worse so I stopped that. The ENT suggested trying Prilosec. I tried that 2 days and felt pressure in my head, upset stomach and difficulty focusing mentally so I stopped taking it. I'm waiting to hear back from my gastroentologist on what to try next. I have raised my bed, am watching my diet. I exercise regularly and am small in build. Do you have any suggestions for me? I am at a loss....

Dr Eisner, I've had terrible heartburn for many years. Recently I happened to find a product called Aloecure at Walgreens. It's said to help reduce acidity naturally. I've tried 4 bottles, and it really work. Have you heard about the product? Do you think it will cause any side effects to people like me?

I've done a lot of reading about acid reflux as I suffered from it for years. After being advised to better understand the foods that I was eating, I changed my diet and feel much better. I look forward to reading your material.

Hello...I'm Benjamin Patromo. I've been applying as an online article writer and I was asked to write some comments regarding acid reflux as part of my job interview. Coincidence or fate, I think I am suffering this disease just a week before my interview. I'm very interested in this topic not only because it is a part of my interview but I might have one as well. I am experiencing sore throat and heavy coughing special when there is a presence of dust and cigarette smokes. Sometimes I find it difficult to breath after a heavy coughing and I need to burp a few times just to be able to breath again. I hope you can guide me on this for I believe this condition is relatively new to medical doctors in the philippines.

I have tried all of the prescription drugs available:Nexium,Prilosec,Omperole and Kapidex. I have tried alternative  remedies:apple cider vinegar, ginger etc. Nothing works.I sleep with a wedge and am careful with my diet.

I have had an endoscopy and have an irritation.

What else can I do? It has been almost a year. I wake up every night with a tightness in may chest and a raw feeling in my throat.

Please advise.

Amazing blog. People will get great help from your efforts. Being in the healthcare field it is hard for me not to interject my clinical experiences. I find that there is an intimate relation between the nerves and the organs responsible for heartburn symptoms. It’s often thought of as an outside to in problem. Meaning people think that ant-acids will calm down / reduce the acidity and therefore their heartburn. I have gotten great success with spinal adjustments and allowing the body to regulate itself back to a proper homeostatic environment. The body regulates itself from the inside out. Patients love it when they do not have to take all the chalky pills and liquids before / after each meal. I would encourage anyone with heartburn to seek out a chiropractor in their local area.

My son has problems with vomiting and chocking.  He was diagnosed with acid reflux after we had an endoscopy done.  His doctor prescribed prevacid and pepcid ac.  He's only 5 years old and I would like to know are these medications safe?

At the very first time that I experienced some acid reflux symptom I immediately consulted a doctor when I woke up in the morning to make sure that this illness would not worsen to any severe cases.
